Do You Think the U.S. Should Stop Deporting Young Immigrants? (Obama Does)

Barack Obama made headlines Friday as he stated that his administration will no longer deport young illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. when they were children. His announcement, as expected, was met with part-joy and part-skepticism -- as well as a heckler who constantly kept interrupting the president as he spoke.

"These are young people who study in our schools, they play in our neighborhoods, they're friends with our kids, they pledge allegiance to our flag. They are Americans in their heart, in their minds, in every single way but one: on paper," the president said in his speech Friday morning. But he was also quick to add that this is not a permanent answer. "This is not amnesty. This is not immunity. This is not a path to citizenship... It's not a permanent fix," Obama said. Do you think the U.S. should stop deporting young immigrants?

    This a** hole, Obama, thinks he can do whatever he wants, he has stopped States from enforcing the law on illegal’s, stopped States from removing Illegal’s from the voting rolls, and now he wants to bypass congress on granting illegal’s a another form of amnesty.

    Frank I agree with you but this jackass is doing whatever he wants and he is getting away with it because we have too many brainwashed people who are agreeing with him. Americans have to take a stand but there are soooo many sheep who do nothing.

    Please. Those were just empty words to get people riled up. Basically, he said it's at the local law official's discretion whether to act or not when someone can't produce documentation. Specifically because of the presumed Supreme Court ruling over Arizona. He has absolutely no authority.

    This is why I hate politicians... They're total sensationalists and they'll do ANYTHING to keep this country divided and up in arms.

    This would be the same Obama who has Holder stop States from enforcing border control at the State level.

    It's amazing that a supposed Constitutional Professor would violate that same document so egregiously. Then again maybe he talk it as a 'living, breathing," document.

    I am amused by Obama's oxy-moronic "law-abiding illegals." All he cares about is getting them registered to vote. Barack Obama doesn't give a damn about American citizens.

    Well I just talked recently to a lady in Florida and she told me the hispanic crime is off the charts and very violent - the citidzens are very frightened haven't heard the media reporting this one though!...they are grabbing women in grocery store parking lots and shoving them in their trunk and doing God only knows what with them....this is part of their gangs initiation... Many of the under 25 are enlisted as drug dealers...did you know that MS13 is very creative and has made strawberry flavored Meth so the grade school kids can enjoy it too....how nice, America needs more of this...; Not to mention that pedophilia and child molestion not to mention rape is rampant among hispanics...due likely to the lawless nature of Mexico and living conditions - so these things are all imports to America...I say seal the border for good

    The flood of Mexicans and South Americans to America serves the agenda of the global elites and their desire to scrub the American culture and create chaos because that will require more of a police state than we already find ourselves in thanks to 9/11 and the elites grab for more control over our lives that we all though would go away in a couple years but here we are it just keeps rolling on, more and more measures to deprive Americans their privacy supposedly in a war to fight an enemy they won't even acknowledge...muslim terrorists! The flood of foreign cultures in massive numbers suchs that they don't assimilate is destroying the fiber of America... The very thing these people want to come here for is disappearing...the quality of life... So this agenda serves nobody but the elites who want their;global one world one culture....just like Hitler wanted....

    What annoys me is he really ignored the young unemployed US Citizens. Well, actually, if we believe the polls, they are turning against him because of the lack of jobs and the continued growth of the national debt that they, their children, grandchildren, etc. will be responsible for. So, with Holder suing States over voter purging and voting requirements, maybe the President and his handlers felt they were enabling a poll of young (illegal) voters.

    And to add insult to injury ILLEGAL immigrants are being granted 50% off college costs by may collages. Why are we offering discounted college costs to Illegal immigrants and who exactly is paying for this? The taxpayers of course. This country is out of control.

    I dont think that we should be so quick to help immigrants when we can't even take care of the people that are already here and we keep sending our work to Mexico and let their people keep coming here tax free for years. Why are we not doing the same for our own US citizens?

    It is the right thing to do! How many of us were born here because our parents came to this country.....not always greeted with open arms....My father joined the army in WWi, became a citizen. My mother also became a citizen. Their road was a difficult one but one they embraced and were as staunch Americans as anyone could be. The America we know was built by immigrants and filled roles across the board from grunt labor to the highest offices in the land. The President is wise in opening an avenue for young people who know no other country than this one as their country. We have invested so much in their education.....why waste that potential talent which we can benefit from? Our history is immigration.....are we suddenly elitists with proprietary nonsense? These young people will have to earn their way through the system....it is not a gift!

    You are correct about our history being one on immigration, but our history is one of LEGAL immigration. It is an insult to all who made the effort your parents did to not enforce our immigration rules. While I feel saddened for the children, when they are in their teens, they could have chosen to get their status legalized, but didn't. And how do we justify allowing illegal immigrants to work in the USA when millions of young Americans remain unemployed? This is not the time for this and it is being done by circumventing both houses of Congress. Obama just Dissed them all once again. This is nothing more than a political mover and I would be very careful if I were an illegal. Who is to say that after the election and when this expires in two years the list created will not be used to deport all.

    This is the history of every country's history.. You've all been brainwashed by the media, public education, college, etc... The few scattered Indians here certainly had no claim to this huge property called America...they had their place but were so brutal it was impossible at a point to coexist with some tribes... The books and historymakers have skewed all history against white Americans because they hate them...they are liars and manipulators...they hate all western cultures because they stand in the way of their global domination.... this is the true reality... America is always compared with this utopian image of perfection and always found wanting...I'm sick of it! We are the best it gets...find me another nation as good, compassionate and decent as America - afterall isn't this why everyone is fighting to get within our borders... The global lelites are destroying all that is good with America rapidly, but it is still the best - I wouldn't live anywhere else.

    What part of illegal do you not understand? I'm sorry these people need t be deported along with their famlies. they can learn their native tongue and help their country or origin with the benefits they received from being here sucking off the taxpayers dime in many instances.

    If this is to be then "No discount on college they must pay out of state tuition" No voting until they take the oath of citizenship, unless you serve 4 years in the military." I prefer the latter!


    DEPORT All NOW!!!! including ilk! Rules of law are what found this country. they may not be the best but they are what we have until changed. Until then Laws are Laws! When we stop enforcing them we become a Lawless Country!

    IMPEACH the POS currently in office!
    This is unconstitutional and he needs to be dealt with, NOW!

    Let me just tell you. That Asians are considered immigrants as well. Many were not born here and they came here on boats. Mexicans aren't the only immigrants! So when the people vote no that means they want Asians, Mexicans, French. Puerto Ricans and any another people reported. Sorry just thought u should learn who are immigrants too!
